vx commodore
Hey, I've got a vx commodore, it's got a few problems, not sure if related or not. Any help appreciated

If i try to flatten the accelerator from standing start it will rev first right out to over 5,000 until i back off and it will kick up a gear, sitting on about 60KMPH for up to 5 seconds if I don't back off.
In my old vt it would just change around 3-4ish? (auto)

Rough idle, shakey idle I've replaced TPS, CAS, Spark plugs and the fuel filter, Cleaning IAC and MAF tommorrow

any ideas? Thanks

vs commodore
Found this bit of info on the net when searching for 4L60E auto transmission problems-

"Question-
1-2 shift does not happen at WOT (Wide Open Throttle) until you let off the gas:

Answer-
Best case: try replacing the TPS.
Middle case: leak in the 2nd gear apply circuit (servo assembly or 1-2 accumulator). Double check by using the pressure gauge and watch for a big drop when the PCM commands 2nd gear.
Worst case: poor line pressure rise".

Yeah my first thought was the TPS, I changed it yesterday, still happening.. How do I check the pressure in the gear box?
